Bridging the Gap Workshop

for Perinatal & Family-Serving Professionals

Families in the perinatal period who are impacted by mental health and/or substance use disorders often interact with systems that were not designed with them in mind. This workshop offers a recovery-informed framework to help perinatal and family-serving professionals reflect on how their roles, responses, and systems of care can either support or hinder families during pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period.

Bridging the Gap is a workshop designed for those seeking to strengthen how they engage with and support perinatal families. It centers recovery-informed perspectives and emphasizes thoughtful, practical considerations that promote safety, trust, and meaningful engagement.
